• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 11: VOTING METHODS, SUPPLIES, AND
• Ch. 1.5: Precincts

Text

(a) A county executive must submit a
proposed precinct establishment order to the co-directors before the
county executive establishes a precinct under this chapter.
(b) To ensure sufficient time for review to determine whether a
proposed precinct establishment order complies with this chapter, the
co-directors may fix a date and time by which a county executive must
submit an order under section 15 of this chapter if the county wishes to
have the proposed order take effect before the beginning of the next
period specified under section 25 of this chapter. The election division
shall notify each county election board of the date fixed under this
subsection at least ninety (90) days before the date occurs.
(c) If a county submits an order after the date and time fixed under
subsection (b), the co-directors may review the order only after
completing the review of orders submitted in compliance with
subsection (b).
(d) This subsection applies to an order submitted after the date and
time fixed under subsection (b). If the co-directors are unable to
determine whether a proposed order complies with this chapter before
the beginning of the next period specified under section 25 of this
chapter, the co-directors shall complete the review so that, if the
proposed order is otherwise approved under this chapter, the order may
take effect following the end of the next period specified under section
25 of this chapter.
